But, claims the email, if you have changed \u00a0your mind and would like to continue using Netflix, you can click a link to restart your membership without any interruption to your service.<\/p>\n<p>However, the email is not from Netflix and your account has not been cancelled. Instead, the <a title=\"'Netflix cancellation' mail phishes for user info\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.eset.ie\/2016\/11\/09\/netflix-mimicking-mail-phishes-for-user-info\/\">email is a phishing scam<\/a> designed to steal your credit card numbers and other personal information.<\/p>\n<p>The criminals \u00a0responsible for this phishing attack hope that at least a few recipients will click the link in the mistaken belief that their Netflix account has been cancelled in error.<\/p>\n<p>If you do click the link, you will be taken to a fraudulent web page that has been designed to look like it is part of the genuine Netflix website. The bogus page features a fake &#8220;restart membership&#8221; form that asks for your credit card numbers, your name and address details, and other identifying information.  \u00a0If you fill in the form and hit the &#8220;Submit&#8221; button, criminals can harvest all of the information you supplied and use it to commit credit card fraud and &#8211; possibly &#8211; identity theft. The supposed \u00a0cancellation date and other minor details may vary in different incarnations of the scam email.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, this scam is just one in a <a title=\"PHISHING SCAM - 'Netflix Account Cancellation'\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/netfix-account-cancellation-phishing-scam.shtml\">long series<\/a> of similar phishing scams that have <a title=\"Netflix 'Problem With Your Membership' Phishing Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/netflix-problem-with-your-membership-phishing-scam\/\">targeted Netflix users<\/a> in recent years.  \u00a0Be wary of any message that purports to be from Netflix and claims that you must click \u00a0a link to reopen a cancelled account, update your details, or rectify a supposed account problem.  \u00a0If you need to check or change \u00a0your Netflix account details, you can do so by entering the address into your browser&#8217;s address bar and navigating to the &#8220;Account&#8221; section.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: November 13, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: November 13, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
